Pierre BARBLEU President APER – Association pour la plaisance éco-responsable
Some figures to start
• Current fleet in Europe about 6-7 million units
• Vast majority below 8m in length
• 95% built in FRP – fibre reinforced polymer
• Average lifetime: 35 years
• Safe disposal needed for boats from 1970s and onwards
Problems posed by end-of-life
• Visual pollution of abandoned boats whether in nature, backyards or ports
• Environmental risks linked to leakage (fuels, oils, batteries)
• Serious risk of fire / combustion with FRP
Boat’s end-of-life
• Not a new issue…
• But it needs to be properly addressed throughout Europe
• Most common reasons are:
– Lack of boat’s resale value
– No more interest or capacity to go boating
– Financial difficulties
Who’s concerned
The whole boating community and more!
– Boat owners: individuals, clubs
– Boat users: charter companies
– Boat manufacturers & retailers
– Marinas, ports and mooring areas
– Waste management companies
– Local communities and more…
Why a boat has to be disposed
Most common reasons are:
– Age limit is reached
– Damages can no longer be repaired safely
– Boat has lost its resale value
– No more interest or capacity to go boating
– Financial difficulties
Type of issues faced
• When the owner is known:
– Lack of disposal solutions in many countries
– Financing of disposal
• When the owner is unknown:
– Legal aspects in addition to the above mentioned
Current situation in Europe
• Finland and France offer a complete solution to boat owners (private and professional)
• Sweden announced the creation of a scheme
• In Italy, Spain and UK some dismantling companies accept to dispose of boats, among other activities
• Pilot projects in Norway
Network of dismantling recreational craft
in France
Introduction APER is a non profit organization, created in 2009 by the French Nautical Industries Federation.
The objectives are to: Build a responsible image of the boating industry,
Meet current and future environmental conditions
Control of financial balances and dismantling costs,
Initiate a process free of any legislative external constraint,
Propose an ecological and economical solution for the RC dismantling

Network operating
The network operates with: 1. Agreement of companies with strong specifications 2. Feedback of the activities 3. Dismantling commitments (recycle waste, respond to quotation
requests within specified deadlines, achieve the dismantling operations within specified deadlines, sign a contract with APER, provide a copy of the certificate of dismantling, accept the competition between companies)
The general principles are: 1. Optimize dismantling costs 2. Reduce the carbon footprint of operations 3. Create competition between companies

19 compagnies & 52 sites of dismantling provide economical and environmental sustainable solutions around the French coastline (25 departments of metropolitan coast).
Dismantling regulation The network of dismantlers consists exclusively of waste management professionals.
All the sites must be: Installations Classified for the Protection of the Environment (ICPE), 2712-2, with an official authorization for the activities:
Storage,
Remediation,
Removal or
Clipping.
Dismantlers approved by APER provide to the customers guarantees on the quality and reliability of dismantling:
Working with a professional dismantler,
Benefit from his knowledge and expertise,
Respect of administrative rules: Installations Classified for the Protection of the Environment (ICPE)
Ensure recycling of waste,
Propose a proximity action of dismantling
Maritime regulation Definition in the Code of Transport of the following concepts:
Wreck Abandoned boat
These texts provide the procedure for loss of property. Problems:
Long and costly procedure Financing of dismantling at the expense of the community
References: Part 5 - Transport and maritime navigation Titre IV – Abandoned boat & Wreck
Chapter 1 – Abandoned boat Section 1 à 3: Art. L. 5141-1 à 5141-7
Chapter 2 - Wreck Art. L. 5142-1
Financing Dismantling is fully paid by the last owner of the boat.
APER recommends funding dismantling throughout boat life by all the owners.
Dismantling quote settled on the
following basis:
1. Transportation 30 %
2. Dismantling & Remediation 50 %
3. Handling of waste 20 %
This distribution is valid for boats from 5 to 12m.
Figure of dismantling
About 4,000 boats were treated by APER & the companies since 2009.

Fiberglass valorisation
There are two valorisation methods: Energy valorisation: development of alternative fuel Material valorisation: use of the material
The advantages of energy valorisation in cement:
A solution of short-term valorisation 100% of waste used (0% landfill, 0% incineration) No residual waste, no ash Calorific power interesting Economy of fuel and contribution to environmental protection Flexibility (no minimum volume)
Fiberglass valorisation
The advantages of material valorisation: Production of a new raw material Virtually unlimited range of products grows with outlet for construction and infrastructure Offers far superior alternative to a variety of materials currently used, such as iron, steel, concrete, plastic (recycled), wood The development of this material needs to develop relationship with other industries producing composite to ensure the viability of this valorisation process through volumes of material (manufacturing waste and end-of-life) sufficiently consistent.
Network dynamic France is the first European country to adopt a genuine organized recycling and
dismantling network for boats. The success of this network is: concertation, organisation & federation. To ensure recognition and credibility of the network, APER coordinate closely with all stakeholders (dismantlers, institutional partners and authorities) in action in France. Dismantling of boats is now a reality in France:
